Photo by Sandy WhiteThe 2012 race season was highly anticipated by Marcel Irnie. This year would mark his return to the Canadian racing scene and be his first on a brand new motorcycle.(2012 s1000rr break-in video) After a busy spring participating in preparation races in Washington, Oregon, California and Utah, Marcel Irnie and his new BMW S1000RR were ready to embark on his rookie campaign in the Pro SuperBike class of the Canadian Superbike Championship.

In the months preceding the start of the Mopar Canadian Pro Superbike Championship series, no one can say that Marcel Irnie didn’t put his work in. In an effort to hone his skills, Irnie attended several early season races including stops in Washington, Oregon, California and Utah. Add this to the countless gym sessions and the many hours on the phone courting sponsors made for little spare time in Irnie’s world. Promising early season results were marred by a heavy crash in California and a nagging electronics power delivery issue from his new BMW S1000RR in the last few tune-up races. This power delivery issue was still present and weighing heavily on his mind as he left Kelowna, BC for the long 55 hour journey to Ontario.

Marcel Irnie’s preparations for the 2012 Canadian Superbike Championships took another turn into the United States in May. This time he was traveling further than the usual regional races in Washington and Oregon. In his effort to build speed and become battle-hardy, Irnie ventured to Northern California for an American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) event at Thunder Hill Raceway Park near Willows, California. Followed by the WERA West Nationals event at Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah. The notoriously fast competition and technical race courses would be very helpful in advancing his 2012 program.

Kelowna BC’s Marcel Irnie journeyed to Portland, Oregon to participate in another West Coast race as he prepares for the 2012 Canadian Superbike Championships. The tough competition and early season start are vital to Irnie’s efforts to ready himself for what will be the toughest season of his career. For this round, Irnie brought both his trusty Dave Alexander-prepared 2005 Kawasaki zx6rr and his awe-inspiring 2012 AMSOIL Bentley Motorrad BMW S1000RR.

Marcel Irnie’s race program held many changes for 2012 and the Kelowna BC native hopes that this will be a watershed season for his racing career. The first major change was the acquisition of a 2012 BMW S1000RR. As Irnie has battled with under-powered, dated machinery throughout his career, having a motorcycle that possess elite horsepower and handling would be a welcome change. Irnie will race the "AMSOIL T1000 Uber-bike" in the complete Canadian Superbike Championship, starting in June.

Irnie kicked off what will be a long campaign at the Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association’s opening round at Pacific Raceways. Despite weather forecasts of perpetual rain, Irnie was anxious to get race hours in and use this opportunity to put the BMW through its paces.

Vote for Marcel Irnie in Champion Spark Plug Video Contest

There’s no question that motor racing on any level is a very expensive endeavor. When you reach the upper echelons like superbike racer Marcel Irnie, putting together a budget for a full racing season is a daunting task. For 2012, Marcel is planning to race the Pro class of the Canadian Superbike Championship, as well as a few rounds of the US AMA Pro Superbike series. Racing at this level will require a lot of sacrifice and most importantly sponsorship.

Irnie has entered a video in a sponsorship contest being held by Champion Spark Plug. Racers of virtually every motor racing discipline can submit a video and have the chance to win the grand prize of a $50000 sponsorship package or one of five $10000 consolation sponsorship packages. If you can take the time, please view Marcel’s video and then create a log-in and vote.

We have been working with Marcel for several years now and certainly recognize the hard work he has put in. He produces popular race videos and works hard to promote his sponsors. He would certainly be a worthy winner of this contest, were he lucky enough to be chosen. He is on the verge of a break-out season in the pro ranks, so this assistance would be helpful.

The 2011 season for Irnie Racing was one wrought with ups, downs and everything in between. For most of the season Marcel Irnie played “catch-up”, trying to stay with the competition on woefully underpowered motorcycles. Irnie achieved several hard-earned top five finishes on machinery that had no business being up front. The highlight of the season was most certainly the two first pro victories of his career. With a tough season almost in the books, Irnie looked to close out the season in Portland with a good result and get on with the business of reloading for 2012.

As the 2011 race season draws to a close, Marcel Irnie and Aaron Holmberg of Irnie Racing looked to finish the final round of WMRRA season on an upbeat note. This year had been turbulent for Irnie as he had been battling nagging injuries early on and unreliable machinery for much of the year. Irnie and Holmberg would be sharing Aaron’s stock Suzuki GSXR 750 tuned by Nel's from 2wheeldynoworks. Irnie also picked up a 2003 Yamaha R6 from sponsor Redline Motorsport of Tacoma. Irnie would use this bike as a backup and try his hand in the TFS class.

Marcel Irnie’s 2011 race season has been tumultuous to say the least. He has had the highs of his first professional victory and the lows of many mechanical gremlins. There has been much uncertainty regarding equipment and where his future lies in the sport. Over the course of this season, Irnie has raced on no less than five different motorcycles; with only one of them being fully competitive. The uncertainty followed Irnie to Washington State as he opted to take part in this round using teammate Aaron Holmberg’s Suzuki GSXR 750 for the weekend.
